GR translation: We have to play the patterns.

[Iris Sirius]

Do you know what West Viginia is, you South Phillipino freak?

its phenomal both your ignorance and arrogance.  Did you really just
apologize to the community?

Its so stupid man.  Havent you noriced that no one on here gives a damn?
And you assumed that you should apologize to the community for being, the
great Rainbow translator who somebody doesnt hold you in any high regard,
or regard, at all?

Rather than calling me troll and asshole like the gutless lizards on here
do, how about challenging me, ask me a question about something.  Ive givwn
you plenty of opinions on Rainbow and Pynchon. Your response, zilch.  Oh
right.  Troll.

You have nothing to say.  You are only trasmitting English puns of sheer
brilliance into Hispanic, which is impossible.

You cant.

I read English translations of Eco's translations of Borges. I read English
translations of Latin scholars speaking Greek who are interpreting ancient
Egyptian scripts.
